The students arrived at the school on July 18.
The Japanese students will stay in Horsham for three weeks while the visit of the two French students will be longer.
Japanese language teacher at St Brigid’s Jeni Allen said the exchange program was an opportunity to interact with students from different cultures.
“It’s an opportunity for us to help them learn to speak and understand English and the Australian way of life - the way we live it,” she said.
Deputy principal Kingsley Dalgleish said the visit was a real privilege for students at the school.
“They students will get to find out the cultures of both the Japanese and French and how they live,” Mr Dalgleish said.
This is the second year of the Japanese exchange program and the ninth for the French program.
